When Obama murdered criminal suspect Osama bin Laden in May of 2011 during an unlawful invasion of Pakistan, in an apparent effort to boost Obama’s flagging political career, a number of questions were asked. First, leaving aside the question of the breach of international law by the invasion of military forces to kill a resident of a sovereign nation and ally, why wasn’t the unarmed bin Laden removed from the country for trial, much as Israel did with Adolf Eichmann? And why weren’t there any apparent plans to take him alive? And what was with the curious act of dumping his body in the ocean, and classifying pictures of a dead body? Oh, the Regime responded, the idea was to keep the body from being used as a source of recruitment by AQ, so the body was treated with respect allowed to a muslim and then forever put out of reach, rather than returned to the family for burial. And why were the photos not being released? Also, the regime said, to avoid the photos being used for recruitment purposes.

Well, none of this rang true at the time. First, wasn’t the mere fact of the method of the murder enough to demonstrate America’s lack of commitment to due process of law, and enough to create martyrdom? And then there were the claims by the family that bin Laden wasn’t actually in the house, that he is still alive, and that there was no evidence of death. Wouldn’t it make more sense for the US to release the pictures, and have produced the body for burial, as the lack of public proof was simply fanning the fires for recruitment?

Well, this week we finally got our answers. Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit, we now know that our supposedly uber professional SEAL team, which is really a bunch of thugs, took turns desecrating the body after the murder. There is no reason to produce the photos, we are now told, because bin Laden was “unrecognizable” after the desecration, which included each member of the team taking the time to pump hundreds of rounds of ammo into the body. Wait, wait a minute. Weren’t the photos taken to prove to the world that bin Laden was dead? But now we are told the body was “unrecognizable?” Wait a second—the reason he was murdered in place was that there was no time to snatch him and get out. But now we are being told that there was apparently time to stand around and desecrate the body?

It now appears that bin Laden’s body wasn’t treated with respect, and that there was never any intention to follow international law with regards to his arrest. And it now appears that the photographs are not to preclude propaganda use, but rather to hide evidence of a crime. And it now also appears that the body was dumped not to prevent creation of a shrine, but to cover up crimes by the SEAL team.

There are a lot of new questions raised by the release of this new information. First, why is it that the Obama Regime’s first inclination is to lie, whether it involves this, or the attack on the consulate in Libya or the current attempts by the Regime to use the CIA to intimidate the Senate? Second, is Obama even in the loop, or is he just shooting off his mouth without having a clue to the truth or falsity of his statements? Third, is there any credibility left to this idiot at all?

Yet one more question about this regime which goes to the heart of what Barry knew and when he knew it. Congress needs to look into this episode, because the effect of the lies and coverup for political purposes is clearly yet another high crime and misdemeanor.
